NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket Number 40-8902]
Federal Register Notice of Amendment to Change Reclamation
Milestone Dates in Source Material License SUA-1470 Held by Atlantic
Richfield Corporation
AGENCY: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
ACTION: Amendment of Source Material License SUA-1470 to change
reclamation milestone dates.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission has amended Atlantic Richfield Corporation's (ARCO) Source
Material License SUA-1470 to change the reclamation milestone dates.
This amendment was requested by ARCO by letters dated August 2, 1994,
and October 31, 1994, and its receipt by NRC was noticed in the Federal
Register on September 7, 1994.
The license amendment modifies License Condition 38 to change the
completion dates for two site reclamation milestones. The new dates
approved by the NRC extend completion of (1) placement of final radon
barrier by one year, and (2) placement of erosion protection by two
months. ARCO attributes the delays to (1) redesign of the radon cover,
(2) difficulties in tailings consolidation, and (3) health and safety
risks to workers due to attempts to meet the previous schedule dates.
Based on review of ARCO's submittals, the NRC staff concludes that the
delays are attributable to factors beyond the control of ARCO, the
proposed work is scheduled to be completed as expeditiously as
practicable, and the added risk to the public health and safety is not
significant.
An environmental assessment is not required since this action is
categorically excluded under 10 CFR 51.22(c)(11), and an environmental
report from the licensee is not required by 10 CFR 51.60(b)(2).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: ARCO's license, including an amended License
Condition 38, and the NRC staff's technical evaluation of the amendment
request are being made available for public inspection at the
Commission's Public Document Room at 2120 L Street, NW (Lower Level),
Washington, DC 20555.

Uranium Recovery Projects Branch, Division of Waste Management, U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555. Telephone (301)
